Owner David Carlson and Master Brewer Danny McGovern test the 6 beers in ex Bowmore Scotch Whisky casks aging in the Marshall Wharf warehouse. The beers, are aging in casks, hand selected following suggestions from some of the world’s leading Scotch Whisky experts including Charles MacLean(Author/WHisky Expert/Consultant), Andrew Rankin(Bowmore), Jeremy Stephens(Bowmore) and Martine Nouet (whisky Expert/Editor Whisky Magazine France) after sampling a selection of the Marshall Wharf beers in Scotland.
Some of the beers will be drawn from the casks in limited quantities for the 5th Year of Beer celebration at Marshall Wharf next weekend. 3 beers have been aged in ex Bowmore (Bourbon-American white oak)casks and the same 3 in ex Bowmore (Sherry – European Red Oak) casks…each imparting a very different set of characteristics and, of course, input from the flavor profile of Bowmore’s brilliant Single Malt Scotch Whisky highlighted by the famed smokiness of the Islay peat.
